What is ASM Traffic?
ASM Traffic is a real-time-capable model for simulating traffic vehicles and other traffic participants like pedestrians in complex highway, rural, and urban environments. It enables the setting up of closed-loop simulations with ADAS and AD functions by providing sensor signals on object list level or integrating AURELION for physics-based sensor simulation.
Therefore, ASM Traffic provides the base for developing, testing, and validating advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.
Application Areas for ASM Traffic
ASM Traffic is suitable for a wide range of use cases in testing and developing advanced driver assistance functions and autonomous vehicles. It can be used throughout all phases of development, for example, in model-in-the-loop (MIL) tests, software-in-the-loop (SIL) tests, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) tests, and for parallel validation in the cloud.
Examples of application fields:
- Automotive, autonomous vehicles, ADAS
- Off-highway
- Automated mobile robots
ASM Traffic enhances simulation by accurately modeling dynamic and static objects around the ego-vehicle. It employs CPU-based simulations for ideal and probabilistic detection sensors, ensuring real-time performance with advanced sensor scheduling.
ASM Traffic supports scalable multi-agent simulations and offers the possibility to easily integrate custom sensor models through the ASAM OSI GroundTruth Interface.
The system includes SoftECUs for ACC, AEB, and FCW, and uses an intelligent driver model to simulate realistic traffic behaviors and various driver characteristics. Traffic signs, lights, and realistic movements for bikes, trucks, and trailers are also covered.
The graphical editor allows for intuitive road network and scenario definitions, with example scenarios like Euro NCAP assessment tests included. It supports ASAM standards for seamless data exchange and simulates V2X communication infrastructure and signals.

Release 2024-B
- Control of Vehicle Door Movement
- Extended OSI Interface in ASM Traffic
With ASM Traffic, you can now control the movement of vehicle doors from the scenario. You can use this feature, for instance, for NCAP dooring tests or to test parking systems. The vehicle door movement is also consistently animated in AURELION. The ASM Traffic model comes with an extended OSI interface to support OSI::HostVehicleData.
